Pokemon Black & White 2 Have Sold Over 7.5 Million Worldwide

Nintendo has revealed that Pokemon Black & White 2 have sold over 7.5 million units worldwide in an earnings report for their third quarter, which ended on December 31st. Pokemon Black & White 2 was originally released in Japan, June 2012, and then it arrived in the United States and Europe in October 2012. Here’s the total worldwide sales for Pokemon Black & White 2 and other key Nintendo titles.

Considering there is a total of around 170m DSs and 3DSs out there and around the same amond Wii Us, PS3s and 360s so is that not a legit defence. Ofcourse we have to take PC gamers into account, but many of those own a home console aswell and there are some gamers owning several home consoles which makes up for the PC gamer part of it. The install base is around the same for both games.

Of course it’s a legitimate defense. There is a much broader audience with the Wii U, PS3, 360, and PC. Those are home consoles, anyway. The 3/DS is a handheld device. It’s an apples-to-oranges comparison.

Besides, these games were a sequel to bridge the time gap between Black/White and X/Y. It’s not like it’s selling poorly for being, arguably, a niche title. First person shooters appeal to the masses, whether they be kids (see: Xbox 360), or adults.

It isn’t like it’s a main Pokemon entry with a totally different story, region, Pokemon, and characters. Pokemon X & Y will be ONE of the many games that people are waiting on to buy a 3DS. There are tons of them coming out this year.

cod sucks you guys were paying for the exact game 4 years in a row, black ops was the last ok thing they did, now black ops two, huh, wow, the fanbase is so stupid, i think we can agree on that and when i mean the same thing, same engine, takes maybe a year to make, pays reviewers for good scores, new kill streak system, take my money please, homo sexual fanbase who make pictures of two guys doing it in some way, new super mario bros changes more, that is sad

7.5M copies of a DS game on a 8 year old system is bad ? WTF :? it’s incredible.

It was never supposed to sell as much as other DS pokemon games as it is a Rehashed Sequel. Not exactly an essential purchase. It’s a great game , but pasable for many as they’re all waiting for 3DS pokemon. WHich has just been announced in the form of X and Y.

X and Y will smash 15-20 million on 3DS lifetime. There’s so many people who have been waiting for a 3D pokemon game , and it’s coming!

And Black and white 2 is still selling a bit today , it will probably hit 10M lifetime.

Pokemon platinum and silver came out on a DS, with only millions of consoles out. It was phenomeno. Pokemon X and Y shall sell millions. One other thing, the 3DS like the DS is owned by people of all ages, don’t try to side step it like it’s an xbox360 that is mostly owned by xbot trolls, cave basement dwellers and those that chose to buy a two exclusive console lol.

I can’t believe that you can’t believe your saying this as if to play down pokemon. It’s one of the best RPG’s going. All of them , every single one is excellent. Doesn’t matter to me if they were ”re-hashed”. I’ve bought every pokemon game ever. one from each generation and remake.

funny thing is my brother will by the new pokemon game and bought some of the newer ones, i never played them tho and he is obsessed with xbox, and will play pokemon over me and is older hahahah, maybe since i think x&y will have all generation pokemon, i will play that when he buys it

I loved pokemon when I was kid. The Pokemon I’ve only played was the N64 Colosseumand loved it. Now I’m not into the whole sprite based style, but now seeing that there are 3D battes, and much much more paked into X&Y, I’m excited.

The sales are very good if you consider the piratery with the r4 cards and much have played those games with emulator too so if all this didn’t exist the sales where much higher . I have a feeling that x and y will smash some records too
